nevertheless, the radio broke,
And twelve o’clock arrived just once too often,”

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Let us not be too much acquainted. I would have a man enter his house through a hall filled with heroic and sacred sculptures, that he might not want the hint of tranquillity and self-poise.”
